We were able to book all of the special events that we wanted, excepting one…

(the new Spirits Confidential Reserved Seating – the event is only offered one night during the festival, it’s brand new, and all of the reserved seats were sold out while I was on hold last week)…

One event that we debated doing twice, because we enjoy it so much each year, is the Sake & Food Pairing at Tokyo Dining (Japan Pavilion)… we eventually decided to sign up for one of these, partly because it’s on a Thursday and we have a prior regular commitment every Thursday afternoon

(we’d probably be enticed to add another Thursday if there was another couple who wanted to go with us – it’s more fun with others)

This is an event that I really want to do, but the timing of our trip just isn’t right this year. The only one that falls during our dates starts at the same time our reception cocktail hour does. Oops. :/
